I start Monday so this might be easier said than done. They told me the first 3 days are the hardest. If you can get through 3 days its smooth sailing. Stay strong! Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

They told me insurance had up to 30 days, and they approved me in less than 24 hours. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

I've always had horrible periods (long & heavy). I stopped the pill today for surgery in 2 weeks, and I'm real nervous about how bad this ones gonna be. What is the ablation exactly? Does it stop your period? I'm done having kids so I'm very curious. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

So my surgery is scheduled for 2/11. I feel like I've been waiting forever for this. I have all the support in the world, my biggest support being my mom. It's been a scary week. My mom got a migraine (so we thought) and it went down hill from there. Went to one hospital, got misdiagnosed 2x, and we watched her get worse by the hour. Within 2 days, her face was drooping like she had a sever stroke, and she lost all strength in her arms and legs. She got transferred to a great hospital and the dr's and specialists were stumped. It got so bad over the last 2 days we didn't know if she was going to make it. Finally after a spinal tap and a million other tests we found out its a variant of Gullain-Barré syndrome, and while she will have a long, long road ahead of her, she will recover and the dr says it can be reversible. It's been a week from hell but she will live and that's all I care about. Now I have a few decisions to make. Obviously my mothers health is my main concern. BUT she was going to be my main help after surgery. She was going to stay with me for a few days to help with the house and kids (my husband works nights so he's gone at night and sleeps until about 3pm). I'm sure I can find other help with my inlaws, neighbors etc. but if I have this I may not be able to help her when she gets out of the hospital. I'm trying to decide if I should be postponing the surgery. I don't know what to do. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Or the "have you really thought about this?" You know what? No! Haven't given it any thought at all! Thanks your your advice! ???? Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

My pre op diet starts the 28th and I'm eating every meal like its my last one. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Mami, you are an inspiration to me.

I haven't had mine yet (February) but I wanted to say congrats on the baby and on your wife's success!

I have my 4 hour class the 22nd, and my 2 week liquid diet starts the 28th. I'm more nervous about those two weeks than the actual surgery. Anyone else start that day that will be a crabby beotch with me for 2 weeks?

I have BCBS Highmark, but I do remember at the seminar that said BCBS of Illinois did NOT require the 6 month diet. I remember because I was super jealous! You still need the cardio clearance, pulmonary function clearance and also the psych eval.

Congrats! Do you have a pre op diet?

Surgery is 2/11. Should I start now?

Yikes that sounds so painful! One of my fears.

I know how you feel, I got the call today and I'm on cloud 9!

Welcome! Your wedding pics are beautiful.

Congrats to all of you. I love reading these.

I'm the 11th as well!

I got my call today and I'm 2/11 as well! We're surgery buddies! Congrats!

My last weigh in was Monday, I called insurance yesterday and they hadn't gotten any info yet. I got a call this morning all is approved and I have a surgery date of 2/11! A month from tomorrow. I'm so excited I'm shaking. In the back of my head I was waiting for denial or some other reason this wouldn't happen. I'm so happy!
